With Manchester United reportedly finished in the market this summer, supporters need something else to celebrate while rival fans get caught up in the furor of transfer deadline day.

Following deals for Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, United fans took a moment to celebrate ‘Fax Machine Day’ on the one year anniversary of that transfer saga involving David de Gea.

The talismanic goalkeeper had all but completed a move to Real Madrid but an 11th hour hitch, apparently involving a broken fax machine, meant the deal fell through – much to the delight of the Old Trafford faithful.

Madrid accused United of sending them paperwork too late which meant the proposed £29.3million transfer, which included Keylor Navas going the other way, could not be finalised in time.

De Gea, who was named the club’s Player of the Year for a record third consecutive season last term, went on to sign a new four-year contract with the Red Devils.

The Spain international has since reiterated that his future lies with United and fans of the Premier League giants couldn’t be any happier.
